That gives you 50% more space on your hard disk, INDEPENDENT of what the data looks like. It also runs 50% faster. It's compatible with the PC-DOS software, but has other features too. For example, you can strap it for default disk drive parameters, or specify them interactively - they're read from the disk at boot time. It can also accomodate drives with 16 heads, up to 256 megabytes (though you need to supply a device driver to handle huge disks). A SCSI version is also available.
